Santa Maria Assunta, Romanesque church in Stia, Italy.
The Pieve di Santa Maria Assunta features three naves supported by monolithic sandstone columns, with a tower-shaped bell tower containing four nineteenth-century bells.
First documented in 1017 as Plebe S. Marie sito Stagia, the church underwent reconstruction by the Guidi Counts starting from 1150, who established their burial ground nearby.
The Renaissance Baptistery Chapel, created by Leonardo Buonafede, contains frescoes by Antonio di Donnino and demonstrates the religious architectural traditions of Tuscany.
The church opens its doors for guided tours and celebrations, with specific visiting hours from Monday to Sunday between 10:30 AM and 11:30 AM.
Each column in the right nave displays distinct carved capitals depicting different animals and human figures, making every architectural element individual.
